Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Your privacy matters. This policy explains what information BettySaidSo.com collects, how we use it, and how we protect it.
I've written this in plain language because legal jargon helps no one.

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information. Our website is served over HTTPS. Ghost (our hosting provider) maintains secure infrastructure. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
